Suggested path

Healer

Keep the crew standing when everything else is trying very hard to make that not happen.

For players learning to heal — the fundamentals transfer across every healing spec.

Follow the stages in any order — nothing here is required or locked.

What you'll learn

Suggested Path

Stages, not requirements — jump to whatever you need.

Keeping people alive — not topping every bar.

You heal what you can see.

Raid frames
Guide · Getting Started
Frames you can actually read — debuffs, range, and incoming heals visible at a glance.
Read the guide →
Mouseover and click casting
Cast on frames without changing targets — faster heals and fewer accidents.
UI clarity
Your frames, your feet, and the boss cast bar — everything else is decoration.

The toolkit every healer shares.

Healing cooldowns
Plan cooldowns for known damage; a cooldown held forever heals nobody.
Dispels
Learn which debuffs you can remove and which ones actually matter.
Mana and resource management
Efficient spells for steady damage, expensive ones for emergencies — not the reverse.

Practice · Heal a normal dungeon watching debuff icons more than health bars.

Five people, constant triage.

Tank damage vs group damage
Steady tank damage is routine; sudden group damage is the real test.
Interrupts and stops
Guide · Getting Started
Many healers carry a stop — a prevented cast is healing you never have to do.

Recovering after mistakes
Someone stands in fire, someone pulls extra — recovery is a skill, not a failure.

Planned damage, planned cooldowns.

Raid cooldown assignments
Guide · Intermediate
Raid-wide damage gets answered by assigned cooldowns — know yours and when it's called.
Read the guide →
Positioning and range
Stand where you can reach your assignment — dead healers heal no one.
Healer communication
The healer channel coordinates coverage — speak when you're dry or moving.

Take the fundamentals somewhere harder.
